MIGRATION

 

International Migration and Multicultural Policies

 The overall aim of UNESCO's programme on International Migration is to promote the respect for the human rights of migrants, and to contribute to peaceful integration of migrants in society.

"We recognize that migration continues to increase -- driven by the age-old pursuit of a better life, as well as by increasingly understood phenomena such as climate change. And so, we accept that we must take effective action without delay."

Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary General, in his address to the Global Forum on Migration and Development, 10 July 2007
